The Internet of Things and Persons with Disabilities

January 29, 2019

The Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to transform the lives of people with disabilities,1 industries, and society as a whole. Many of today’s IoT devices and services are increasingly accessible to people with disabilities; some IoT technologies are specifically designed for people with disabilities, whereas others are repurposed by them.2 The IoT and its associated data are producing accessibility-related advances, ranging from smart home devices to self-driving cars. IoT devices and services are also empowering people with disabilities to participate more fully and autonomously in everyday life by reducing some needs for human intermediaries or accommodations. Data derived from people with disabilities’ use of IoT devices and services can provide insights into the challenges and opportunities experienced by users. These insights can enhance existing IoT products and lead to the development of new ones.

Transport Networks for 5G

whitePaper | August 27, 2023

5G deployments continue their upward trend and will soon be the dominant mobile wireless protocol deployed in North America. The ecosystem is gathering valuable information from these deployments, and one area of focus is the transport network. As part of 5G’s evolution, key architecture components are being separated and distributed to the cloud in ways that make 5G more scalable and flexible. Meanwhile, bandwidth demands continue to increase at the same time applications and services require low latency. New requirements are presented to the transport network at each step of an operator’s 5G journey. The transport infrastructure of today must be flexible to adapt to upcoming requirements as it enables new architectures, tools, and ultimately, 5G networks innovation, monetization, and performance. The fundamental goal of the 5G transport network is to deliver transparent connectivity that allows both present and future functions to work together seamlessly.

Life in 3D:Using Alternative Datato Power Credit Risk Decisioning

whitePaper | December 20, 2022

As humans we see the world in 3D. It helps us judge everything we do, from reading people’s reactions so we can respond accordingly to knowing how high we should step to make sure we don’t fall. Yet as a lender you’re often forced to determine credit risk in one dimension, using a traditional credit score. And if there is no credit score, you are inclined to walk away.
